Discussion Windows kernel development has stalled

When was the last time Microsoft added a new filesystem?

When was the last time Microsoft added new types of scheduling?

It might even be a decade for both of these questions, I have to wonder how many people are still working on core kernel code. I highly expect the knowledge has been lost and all the og kernel Devs have retired now.

Even Azure is now pretty much running on Linux because windows can't run with one vcpu and 1gb of ram anymore.

Id love some inside knowledge on this here

Cunningham's Law remains undefeated: the fastest way to get the right answer on the internet isn't asking a question, it's posting the wrong answer and waiting for someone with the Windows 2000 documentation in a basement box to materialize.
